http://scattrbrain.com/articles/2007/09/22/debugging-rails en-us 40 Darshan Patil's personal blog <p>script/breakpointer does not work anymore with the latest stable version of rails. The new way to debug rails applications is to use ruby-debug. To use this to debug your rails applications, do the following</p> <pre> gem install ruby-debug </pre> <p>Once, that is done, edit config/environments/development.rb in your rails application and add the following line to the end of the file.</p> <pre> require 'ruby-debug' </pre> <p>To break into the debugger, you need to call</p> <pre> debugger() </pre> <p>where you would have previously called breakpoint(). When debugger() is executed, the server will break into the debugger. Run <b>help</b> to see a list of available commands. You can also launch an irb process by typing <b>irb</b> at the debugger prompt.</p> <p>Note: Debugger does not work with fastcgi. It works with mongrel and webrick.</p> Sat, 22 Sep 2007 15:40:00 -0400 urn:uuid:9fd65c2b-6358-4cea-9b23-d95fe01dfdec dapatil@scattrbrain.com (Darshan Patil) http://scattrbrain.com/articles/2007/09/22/debugging-rails Ruby ruby http://scattrbrain.com/articles/trackback/196
